"Young Master, come aboard quickly!" The speedboat soon reached Fein's side, and the men in black extended their hands, trying to pull Fein out of the water.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Fein let out a blood-curdling scream. Immediately after, it was as if a powerful force had gripped him, dragging him underwater in an instant.

What just happened? The people on the speedboat were dumbfounded. How could the Young Master suddenly be pulled under?

"Quick, dive in and find the Young Master!" one of the men in black said in a deep voice.

"Look, look, what is that?!" At this moment, someone shouted in a terrified voice, as if they had seen something beyond belief.

Underneath the cruise ship, a massive shadow emerged. Although its identity was unknown, its massive body exuded an extremely oppressive presence.

Suddenly, a strange noise echoed out, and the surface of the sea seemed to boil violently. Waves churned, and even the enormous cruise ship began to sway.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Dozens of massive tentacles appeared around the speedboat without warning. They shot out in an instant, coiling around the boat and everyone on it.

The men in black on the speedboat struggled with all their might, but the tentacles' power was overwhelming. They were soon strangled to death and dragged into the sea.

"What is this?!" The people on the cruise ship, witnessing the terrifying scene, couldn't help but cry out in fear.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Loud crashing sounds came from the bottom of the cruise ship, and the entire vessel shook violently.

"What on earth is this thing?" Catherine's eyes filled with terror. To shake a ten-thousand-ton cruise ship like this, it had to be a colossal creature, perhaps something like a blue whale. But she had never heard of a blue whale actively attacking a ship in the news.

Moreover, those tentacles from earlier had left an indelible impression on Catherine.

"Let's go. We might have a clearer view from above!" Ling Feng wrapped his arm around Catherine's waist, and with a slight motion of his body, he soared into the air, hovering midair.

As the salty sea breeze brushed against her face, Catherine finally saw the enormous shadow assaulting the ship.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The shadowy creature continued to ram the cruise ship relentlessly. All around the vessel, countless massive tentacles emerged, flailing violently as if intent on toppling the ship.

The people on the cruise ship did not simply wait for doom. The Morgan family's vessel had a stash of weapons onboard, and soon a barrage of torpedoes was launched, slamming into the shadowy creature.

A bizarre shriek came from the ocean depths, and a vast expanse of scarlet blood surfaced. Under the torpedoes' brutal assault, the mysterious creature was gravely injured.

With a deafening roar, a massive wave tens of meters high erupted from the sea. The looming shadow, enraged by the attack, finally revealed its full form.

It was something akin to a whale, but its body was covered in dense, writhing tentacles. To everyone's shock, the creature's forehead bore a massive, singular horn.

Catherine clung tightly to Ling Feng. The grotesque yet formidable beast filled her with unease. "Ling Feng, what is that thing?!" she asked nervously.

Ling Feng shook his head. "I have no idea. This is the first time I've seen anything like it. If I'm not mistaken, these creatures originally lived deep in the ocean, but for some reason, they've all been surfacing lately."

As he spoke, an image of the time he secretly crossed to Fusang surfaced in Ling Feng's mind, of the battle he witnessed during a storm—between a colossal octopus and a prehistoric Sea Monster.

"Could the appearance of these rare deep-sea creatures be some kind of omen?" Ling Feng pondered deeply.

He had a strong sense that this was no mere coincidence. It might be connected to the Great Era of Cataclysm foretold by the Holy Emperor.

The surfacing Sea Monster threw the people aboard the cruise ship into chaos. Its massive tentacles relentlessly smashed through the ship's outer hull, and seawater gushed into the cabins.

As the cruise ship sank lower into the waters, the tentacles that had been battering the hull shifted upward, swarming onto the deck and commencing a frenzy of carnage.

Numerous tentacles coiled around passengers, dragging them toward the monster's gaping maw. To the beast's eyes, the massive cruise ship was a sumptuous platter, and its human passengers, the most delectable feast.

"This is sheer brutality!" Catherine shut her eyes tightly, unable to bear the sight of the one-sided massacre and devouring of humans by the monster.

As the Sea Monster devoured the humans aboard the cruise ship, its enormous eyes remained fixed on Ling Feng midair. It sensed an immense, boundless power within him. Instinct told it that consuming this airborne figure would yield tremendous benefits, though it also felt a daunting pressure.

Nevertheless, as it feasted on the humans, its desire surged uncontrollably. Even though Ling Feng made it uneasy, its greed overpowered its apprehension. Dozens of massive tentacles suddenly shot up, lunging toward Ling Feng.

"Ah!" Catherine screamed in terror at the sight, her face pale.

Ling Feng merely sneered coldly, "I haven't made a move, and yet you couldn't resist striking first."

"Mo Yu Sword, Slash!" The Mo Yu Sword in Ling Feng's hand glimmered, and streaks of sword light swept through the air. The tentacles that lunged forward were instantly shredded, falling like blood-soaked rain.

The Sea Monster let out an enraged roar. Although losing dozens of tentacles meant little to it, it now realized that devouring the airborne mortal would not be an easy task.

With a reluctant glance at Ling Feng, it hauled the entire cruise ship before itself. Opening its gaping maw, with crunching and grinding sounds, it devoured the entire vessel bite by bite!

After swallowing the entire ship, the Sea Monster cast one last look at Ling Feng, then sank silently into the depths, vanishing from sight.

Ling Feng exhaled deeply. The pressure this creature exerted on him was far greater than that of the two colossal beasts he had encountered previously. Ling Feng also felt that even an expert in the Demi-God Domain would stand little chance against such a monster.

"The vast ocean... just how many secrets does it hold?" Ling Feng sighed in a low, somber voice. "Catherine, let's go."

Saying this, Ling Feng wrapped his arm around Catherine's waist, transforming into a streak of light as they flew toward Heaven Island.

On Heaven Island, the leader of the Eye of God opened his eyes, a flicker of worry flashing within them. "I didn't expect these Deep Sea Behemoths to reappear. It seems that thing will soon unveil itself to the world once more."

As his murmured words faded, his figure slowly disappeared from where he stood.
